Hummel said if Fox did win, the board members would first talk to each other about what they should do, then seek recommendations from the community.

"I can't honestly say how I feel about it at this time," Hummel said. "I don't know if it would be financially right to hold another election, or appoint someone harmonious to the board to represent the Centinela Valley District."

"We could ask for recommendations from the people who live there, and find someone who would be a real representative from that group," Hummel added.

Hummel said Fox appeared in good health recently, even though he had a setback several months ago.

"He was looking better," she said. "He was still sharp and asked good questions."

Hummel also said Fox's work as a mortician might have accounted for his desire to be of service to the community.

"His profession made him sensitive to people's feelings. He chose the mortuary profession because he was such a kind and wonderful man. He had a charming twinkle and was thoughtful and considerate to people. He was used to dealing with tragedy in people's lives. In a time of sorrow, he was such a bulwark of strength."

Fox's commitment to the board reflected the dedication that the entire community college district has for EC, Hummel said.

"This is a very harmonious board and we work well together," Hummel said. "We argue like the dickens, because we say how we feel about things, but it's all in the spirit of helping the college."

Hummel said she has been to other districts and EC seems to have more dedication than others.

"Our instructors are really dedicated to the students. Our administration is dedicated to the students coming first and the faculty a very close second."

Hummel said the residents of the district have faith in the board and its commitment to the college.

"At EC, we have pride in this campus."
